Martha has constantly experimented with her musical parameters. In the early days this meant singing the folk songs she had know since childhood one week and recording electronica and trip-hop the next. Her new tour is a sparky union of folk, acoustic, trip-hop and electronica. With her longtime collaborators and musicians Matt Tweed and Matt Kelly, among others they entwine raw vocals, sparkling melodies and thought provoking lyrics with filmic movements and earthy baselines. To see them live is to connect with longed-for parts of ourselves.

Gigi Wilde presents'Life at the Kitchen Table' : a raw and cinematic body of work from the London based alternative musician. Live with a full band for the first time, expect an immersive performance that pulls apart and questions what it is to be alive. “Each song is about a different moment that has happened at or around a kitchen table - think less about cooking, and more about those intimate moments that happen in the home (or away). It’s where you eat and drink, it's where you go first thing in the morning and often are there late into the night. It's where you fight, console, love and everything in between” The song themes range from to grief, to anger, to heartbreak and celebration. It's tied together by a threading narrative of inspecting the intimate space that is the heart of home. This gig is a showcase of Gigi's world building and community. Support TBA.

British singer/songwriter Kate Walsh became one of the U.K.'s most celebrated newcomers with the release of her second album, Tim's House, which became the first album by an unsigned artist to ever top the digital charts. Born in Burnham-on- Crouch, a quiet fishing community in the town of Essex, she was surrounded by a wide variety of music while growing up, from her father's Pink Floyd records to her brother's electronic music. While still a young girl, Kate took piano lessons and developed a talent for interpreting the works of Debussy and Ravel, although it wasn't until she picked up a guitar in her teens that she began writing her own music. Inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, and Talk Talk, Walsh's songs proved to be sad, beautiful tales of love and romantic disappointment that displayed a wisdom beyond her years, and when she enrolled in the London College of Music and Media at the age of 18, she met a representative from the independent Kitchenware label who took a keen interest in her music. Having spent recent years raising a family and teaching piano, Kate has now rekindled her love of composition and a desire to play these new songs live... Welcome back Ms Walsh. Presented by DMP.
